20. Last Dance (Last Dance, 2012)
“That the best EDM songs he ever made in my opinion. Pure good Electro House music when he was at his best! This is a very rocking song!”
19. Broken Arrows (Stories, 2015)
“This song is so amazing! I just love the lyrics and everything. It’s not one of the most popular songs, but in my opinion, it’s his best song.”
18. Sunshine (Nothing but the Beat, 2011)
“The drops in this song are so fantastic, it just makes you want to jump and scream. I think the breaks in this song makes the audience anxious to hear what going to happen next. Then its just blows your mind, this is a really good song, it should be under levels.”
17. Dear Boy (True, 2013)
“The song has one of the most catchiest melodies I’ve heard in House music for years, and the vocals and beat fit so well together I just want to cry. MØ (Karen Marie Ørsted) & Avicii just have to do another collaboration soon. I can’t get enough of her voice.”

16. Lay Me Down (True, 2013)
“Song brought to life with the help of a legendary Nile Rogers and some impeccable vocals from Adam Lambert. His best song! Love it. It may be a remix, the rhythm reminds me something but whatever, the song is excellent!”
15. Drowning (Avicii Remix) (Mirage, 2010)
“Everyone who reads should listen to this song, go download it now quickly and come back and tell me you dislike this song. I guarantee you won’t. It is fantastic like every other great song by Avicii that isn’t popular. Pretty much every popular song by Avicii is worst than a lot of his other remixes, silhouettes and seek bromance excluded. But check out his remix of rapture, new new new, the last summer and drowning.”
14. A Sky Full of Stars (Ghost Stories, 2014)
“Best one in my opinion… The voice of Coldplay and the music created by Avicii! Totally worth listening to. The song that brings my favorite two artists together.”
13. Fade Into Darkness (Año 8, 2012)
“Not only my favorite Avicii songs, but one of my all-time favorite songs. Unsurpassed vocals and excellent production on Avicii’s part.”
12. Addicted to You (True, 2013)
“The lyrics are so beautiful, usually after listening to a song nonstop for a week I get burned out and stop listening to it for months. But this one, I’ve been listening to for a whole month now.”
11. Seek Bromance (Seek Bromance, 2010)
“I am in love with this song! Been spamming the replay button for this one! The vocals are incredible and the beat just makes you want to move. This is the best progressive house song ever. The beat is amazing – it just makes you dance. The vocals are amazing. It’s way better than his new music. “
10. The Days (TERRACE HOUSE TUNES – CLOSING DOOR, 2015)
“I listen to this song all the time and it makes me remember all the good times I have had. Ultimate feel good. feeling depressed? Listen to this baby”
9. X You (X You, 2013)
“I found this song when I first started listening to EDM. It’s not as well known as tracks such as hey brother and levels, but so much better. This track has an amazing buildup that no other Avicii song has. It has a tune that instantly makes you happy, and doesn’t get monotonous or annoyingly repetitive like levels and hey brother. I listen to it whenever I’m down, and it never gets old. The fact that it doesn’t make the top ten over hey brother and levels is disappointing because of the uniqueness of the song, how it was made, and just how truly great it is.”
8. You Make Me (True, 2013)
“This is the best remix I have ever heard! Just amazing beat, even better than the original! This song is about the world uniting as one, and how we need each other because we “make” each other who we are. However, I think the speaker is specifically waiting for a person, perhaps a lover, as he’s “waiting for someone like you”.
7. Waiting for Love (Stories, 2015)
“The lyric video of this song is what makes it even more lovable. The love of the dog for his master is just inspiring and we should learn to never give up no matter how difficult the situation.”

6. Silhouettes (Onelove Sonic Boom Box 2013 (Mixed by Avicii & Feenixpawl), 2012)
“The melody is perfect and this song consists so many feelings I can not even imagine. I never get tired of this song even though I have played this more than any of you can think of.”
5. I Could Be the One (True, 2013)
“Love this song, the chord progression and hypnotizing vocals combined with uplifting lyrics gets me up and moving without fail. Amazing music! Can’t have negative feelings when you listen to it!”
4. Hey Brother (True, 2013)
“It talks about love between siblings in a honest, loving and real way. It shows what it’s like to grow up in a functional, happy family and it makes me so happy and makes me feel so blessed with my wonderful siblings…”
3. The Nights (Stories, 2015)
“Epic Song! evergreen and anyone can relate to it. The Feeling of being stranded and wanting to be free and do whatever you like. The songs nails it. Also, the reference to father makes it even more touchy. Listening to it on repeat since many days.”
2. Wake Me Up (True, 2013)
“It’s a unique approach from Avicii, a new style from him that I believe is very effective and shows a completely new perspective on this style of music. The featuring artist, Aloe Blacc is a highly talented vocalist which is just one other addition to make this song as awesome as it is.”
1. Levels (Levels, 2011)
“This song changed the world, it was something extraordinary at the time of its release, and to this day still is. One of the greatest produced and iconic songs of all time and even 10 years on its still unfathomably good.”
